Dr. Charles J. Blackstock – Pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church

Brother Will Hill came to Lighthouse Baptist Church for the purpose of entering our missionary training program. He had already spent six months in Peru, SA for missionary training. He spent three years in intensive Bible College classes and one on one mentoring by myself and key members of my staff.

The missionary training program required Bro. Hill to preach and/or teach a minimum of one hundred times and to win and disciple several new converts. While in the training program, Will developed a New Move-In Ministry by selecting and training several key couples within our church to reach out to families that had recently moved into our community. He became the editor for our InVision Magazine, and he taught the Senior High Teen Sunday School Class. In addition to these accomplishments he also performed baptisms, served the Lord’s Supper, worked in a campus ministry at North Ga. College, held leadership positions in several youth camps and Bible schools and mentored several students some of whom are now in various Bible Colleges or missionary training programs. He and his wife have an excellent testimony and maintain high standards. A graduation requirement was for each missionary to start a new Sunday School class and develop a leader to take the class upon his leaving. Brother Will started a class for college age singles. This class has been a blessing to our church and continues strong under the leadership of Will’s brother Chris Hill. After graduation, he decided to remain in an intern program and continued to work in our Sunday School. He also developed and operated a Saturday night program to spend time with and reach neighborhood teens. After three years in our missions training program and three years as an intern I believe that Bro. Hill has the experience necessary to do well on the mission field. I know for a certain that he loves the Lord and has a deep burden for the Japanese people. No one will work harder to reach the Japanese for Christ. His wife, Rebelle, comes from a great church that is very fundamental and missions-minded. She has a brother in China and one in South America. Rebelle is excited to follow her husband to the mission field and she is just the kind of help-meet that he needs as a missionary.

I strongly believe that Will and Rebelle Hill are a great investment for your missions dollars. We are proud to be their sending church and are blessed to be able to support them. You will not be disappointed in the return you get for supporting this family. If you have any questions about the Hill family, please feel free to call me.
